“Deciding” To Move On | TechCrunch

Last year, Tim Armstrong joined Mike Arrington on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt to sign the deal that made TechCrunch part of AOL (NYSE: AOL). You could feel the glow even at a distance. This year’s event kicks off with news of a different sort: Arrington and AOL have parted ways when it comes to TechCrunch. (Statement below.) He’ll be at Disrupt as planned but he no longer has any financial interest, responsibility or say over the site and company he founded. http://paidcontent.org/2011/09/12/419-arringtons-long-goodbye-finally-over-schonfeld-new-techcrunch-editor/
